As soon as Kayson finished speaking, the entire room burst out laughing.
Liu Yun glared at him dismissively.
"Nonsense! I didn't attend a funeral, go to a crematorium, or a cemetery today—what evil spirits could possibly be haunting me?"
Kayson said calmly:
"The problem is the car you rented.
You haven't been to those places, but the used Lamborghini you hired has. It picked up dark energy from a crematorium and is now targeting you."
Liu Yun's face flushed red with embarrassment.
To save face and show off her status, she had secretly rented a second-hand Lamborghini.
Kayson had exposed her lie in front of everyone, stripping her of dignity.
She screamed at Kayson:
"You bastard! Filthy liar!"
Sharon Su jumped in at once:
"Kayson! You're cursing Mom!
On such an important festival, how dare you give her yellow paper? What's wrong with you?"
Shawn chimed in: "This is basically wishing Mom would die soon!
Even a few words written on red paper would count as filial piety. You spent nothing and handed her cursed paper—your heart is evil!"
Aunt Liu added fuel to the fire:
"Giving yellow paper on Mother-in-Law Day is terribly unlucky!
If you have no money, just come eat. Why curse people?"
Liu Yun snatched the talisman and tore it to pieces, shouting right in Kayson's face:
"You little beast! I'm not dead yet, and you're already giving me funeral paper!
Get out! Get out of here now!
GO!"
Sharon Su shoved Kayson hard.
"You're the one possessed! Why don't you drop dead?
On a happy day like this, you curse my mom! Can't you say something nice?"
Susan was fuming too.
"Kayson! Apologize to Mom right now!"
Kayson looked at her. "I don't care what they say… but you think I'd curse Mom too?"
Susan snapped: "What are you doing? What exactly do you want?!"
Sharon Su pushed him again. "Get lost! Go as far away as you can!"
Susan trembled with anger.
She was so disappointed in him.
On a festive day, he had to gift her mother something so offensive.
Liu Yun continued screaming insults:
"Useless loser! Good-for-nothing—"
Mid-sentence, her face suddenly twisted, eyes rolled back,
and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Ah! Something's wrong!"
Panic erupted. Everyone rushed to help Liu Yun up.
But her right hand stuck straight out, rigid as a pole, pointing directly at Kayson. She couldn't speak at all.
One eye bulged, the other squinted; her mouth was pulled sideways in a horrible grimace.
"Call a doctor!" Sharon Su shouted.
But they were in a busy pedestrian street. By the time a doctor arrived, it would be too late.
The situation was desperate.
"A doctor won't get here in time," Su Haiyang said, holding his wife.
He suddenly remembered what Kayson had said earlier.
"Bring Kayson back! Hurry!"
Susan quickly called Kayson.
He answered with his hands in his pockets and walked back in slowly.
"Hurry! Your mom is dying!" Su Haiyang yelled.
"Get me a brush," Kayson said to Sharon Su.
Sharon ground her teeth, but saving her mother came first. She reluctantly handed him a ballpoint pen.
"I need a writing brush," Kayson said.
"Who do you think you are?!" Sharon snapped.
Kayson stepped close to her face. "Are you getting me a brush or not?"
Sharon cursed under her breath, grabbed a brush from the table, and thrust it at him.
"Here! If you can't cure her, you'll die for this!"
As it was Mother-in-Law Day, Liu Yun kept a gift ledger
recording who gave what and how much.
She used a brush for bookkeeping,
so ink and a brush were already ready.
Kayson turned to Shawn. "Grind the ink."
"You—!" Shawn pointed at Kayson, furious.
Su Haiyang urged: "Hurry! No time!"
Shawn was used to ordering Kayson around.
But now, in front of everyone, he was being ordered by him.
He seethed inwardly.
Fine. If you can't cure Liu Yun, I'll deal with you then.
Shawn swallowed his pride, ground the ink, soaked the brush, and handed it to Kayson.
Kayson pulled out another sheet of yellow paper, drew nine coiling patterns on it,
and pressed it firmly to Liu Yun's forehead.
Soon, Liu Yun's stiff body gradually relaxed.
"Mom, how are you?" Susan held her tightly.
"I… I feel like I just had a strange dream…"
"She can talk! She's better!" Sharon Su cheered.
Susan looked shocked and relieved.
Sharon Su hated that Kayson had won favor again.
"Mom got better on her own! She just had a muscle spasm! It has nothing to do with Kayson!"
"Right, Mom?"
Liu Yun jumped up from the floor, brushed dust off her clothes, and declared:
"I was never sick! Just a small cramp. I'm fine now."
Aunt Liu said sharply:
"Kayson, stop acting so self-important! You just got lucky!"
Kayson looked at her. "Why do you all attack me after I cure Mom?
You beg for my help to save her, then deny what I did. That's your true face."
Susan said quickly: "As long as everyone's okay. Let's go eat."
Liu Yun held her head high, returning to her queenly demeanor, and waved her hand.
"Serve the food!"
Kayson sat beside Susan and whispered:
"You saw me cure Mom. Let me remove the dark spirit inside you too—it's deadly dangerous."
He thought that after witnessing him heal Liu Yun,
Susan would finally trust him and accept treatment.
They were husband and wife, after all; they should support each other.
Susan frowned.
"You just got lucky. A coincidence.
I don't believe some drawings on yellow paper can cure anyone.
If that worked, what would we need hospitals for?"
Kayson said:
"Hospitals aren't everything. They treat physical illnesses.
But for spiritual issues, people with special skills—like me—are needed."
Susan's face tightened.
"Fortune-telling and talismans are just cheap tricks. Stop embarrassing yourself.
I don't need you to be rich or successful, but get a decent, respectable job. Ditch this con-artist nonsense.
What would people ask me? 'Susan, what does your husband do?'
Am I supposed to say: 'He's a fortune-teller'?
I'd die of shame!"
Susan refused Kayson's help once again, rejecting his offer to remove the fox spirit haunting her.
"Alright! Let the feast begin!" Shawn slicked back his hair, full of energy again.
He called to a waiter:
"It's Mother-in-Law Day! Bring out your best wine!"
